It will still end up around $250 ...$300. which is fine.

As an aside, the one is at 4.6mm so what is the life of a disc in miles/ km .OK, a silly question but I ride pretty gently and even when pushing along I don't brake much. So is this one good for 80,000 km/ 50,000 miles ?
That could last 150,000 miles - or 20,000. Depends not just on how you ride, but on the pads.
I'll buy pads from Motobins but as I said I don't use my brakes much at all.

I bought this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/Bremsscheibe-BMW ... Sw4HVWFTBd
$106 Euros delivered and all the fun of playing with German Ebay! I think there's enough life left on it for my use.
Thanks all.
